I sold it within a month of parting it out. The only thing it had left was the black emblems

I forgot that I took this picture of an S2kBro back in October.

Hardtop, single exhaust, spoiler, side mirrors, wheels, diffuser/body kit, shorty antenna?

The Antenna is the stock. Considering what i have seen, that one is pretty tastefully modded. I dont like the rear diffuser... unless he actually needs the aero otherwise it is just 1 more thing to crack over speed bumps.

That's a great looking GPW, probably as far as I'd ever go modding mine.

Nothing new with my car, other than racking mileage & 4x4ing it up.

have you replaced your master and slave clutch cylinders?

If you are bored, look into replacing them.

The diffuser, side strakes, and can't see the front but assuming its there ridiculous front splitter are total overkill unless actually track driving this car. Otherwise, it's a speed bump and curb magnet. Also, the single exhaust looks terrible and hacked on.

I hate it when people change a dual exhaust vehicle to a single exhaust. I think it looks so tacky and ruins the ass end of the car. Yeah yeah, I know, because race car, but god damn, who said you can't have a good looking race car?

that's why I refused to go single exit...they are considerably cheaper, too.
oono...why? I did lube up and remove the checkvalve on my slave, but it was in condition so I put it back in.

Clutch feels great right now

I'd only want to replace the slave cylinder if I wanted to get rid of the check valve.

At this point, If I were to do anything with my car .. I'd do mostly maintenance items like a bushing overhaul, fluid changes, and maybe throw a front sway bar on. OEM suspension handles pretty good, tires are absolute tits, brakes are tough, engine is stout - there's really nothing I'd change about my car ... hence why I'm getting a little bored of it.

I think once the S2000 is paid off (soon), I'll get myself a project car that makes some whoosh whoosh sounds

It is one of those items that WILL go bad if you had not changed it before.

both my 05 and 07 were replaced. (Hardest shaft you will ever experience )

One of those things that you should be proactively checking and replace before you get stuck at somoewhere.

If you want an awesome project car, buy an old Jeep. Tons of fun, parts are cheap, mods are cheap, super reliable, and (since you're in socal) there are tons of places to take it for real Jeeping work.

Also, it'll clear your driveway.

It was the Slave. The clutch pedal felt fine but the shifter could no longer shift.

So i was driving to my company's Xmas party last Friday and saw a LBP S2000 and I started "chasing" it down, Not racing.

then my GF said very calmly, That was your car.......
I was not sure but apparently she remembered my plate #.
So i took a picture of it and verified it today.

Last Friday (Car was lowered with black wheels and exhaust)





When i had it.

glad it is still on the road but based on the dirt on the car, that driver is not taking good care of her.

I have the best girlfriend ever... Celebrating Christmas a bit early and she got me Clazzio seat covers

Fitment is great and the material quality is fantastic! No more worn seats & cheap Honda leather

Thanks bud, I've never been a fan of tan seats so this is a major treat.

New car / leather smell is a plus too

Rolled over 153k yesterday, still looks great despite the rock crawling capable suspension

1. Why is the car leaning to the left?

2. You can transfer plates in the US? In canada, the plate stays with the person, not the car. You can never transfer them.

1. Guy is fat
2. He probably looked up current owner of the plate and it was the guy he sold it to.
